"Old Dog" Hill has arrived at Sunspear, and rejoins the Sons providing security for the Princess. Alister is assigned to sit on the Princess' left hand and sample food and wine for signs of tampering or poison.

Corwyn stood ominously behind Alysanne, keeping an eye on anyone approaching the princess.

Old Dog himself wanders the feast room, keeping an eye on all those who enter the room, and making sure the Sons are at their posts and alert.

Alister intercepted the glass before it touched the Princess' lip, and took a deep sip. He smiled,
"If it's poisoned, tell my mother I loved her," he says with a grin.

After a pleasant wait, assuming Alister does not in fact die, he places the wine glass into the Princess' hand.
"It's a good vintage, if I do say so myself," Alister grinned, "better than I usually get to taste anyway."

Alysanne drank some of it and nodded, idly watching the dancers.

A corner of her mouth twitched. "Are you asking me to a dance?"

"No your highness, that would be beyond presumption. I am merely pointing out that...should you decide to dance, you would clearly be the best, provided of course, you had an adequate partner fully familiar with the Dornish dancing style."

She looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Look. If you're going to do it then do it."

Alister smiled, "I thought you said you spent time in Dorne. Clearly you don't understand us very well at all. No wonder they are giving us such a hard time."

"Thank you for enlightening me." she said without much enthusiasm.
